That's the problem. Ordinary citizens have lost political control in America. Corporate interests now control our quality of life.


That great liberal bastion of hope known as McCain-Feingold didn't quite have its effect, huh? That was supposed to be the cure-all for 'special interests'. I wonder what problem McCain is going to dream up then propose a cure for in 2008.

It's such a tragedy that government wants to favor business interests.

Labor and employment laws (such as overtime laws) are weakened or are not enforced. Minimum wage laws are not updated so that the minimum wage is ridiculously low. Rules for outsourcing jobs have been loosened. Huge numbers of foreign workers are granted work visas, further undercutting the work opportunities for American citizens. Unemployment benefits expire sooner. A larger portion of the income tax burden is put on the middle class. Military spending is up. Welfare and food stamp programs have been cut back. Bankruptcy laws may soon become nearly useless for consumers, etc., etc.


blah blah blah blah

Cry me a river.

Thank God someone is doing it. If the wealthy were pissed and schit on by both parties it would really suck to be wealthy.
